Pre-Industrial CO2 Levels Were About The Same As Today

How and why we are told otherwise.

Proponents of human induced warming and climate change told us that an increase in CO2 precedes and causes temperature increases. They were wrong. They told us the late 20th century was the warmest on record. They were wrong. They told us, using the infamous “hockey stick” graph, the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) did not exist. They were wrong. They told us global temperatures would increase through 2008 as CO2 increased. They were wrong. They told us Arctic ice would continue to decrease in area through 2008. They were wrong. They told us October 2008 was the second warmest on record. They were wrong. They told us 1998 was the warmest year on record in the US. They were wrong, it was 1934. They told us current atmospheric levels of CO2 are the highest on record. They are wrong. They told us pre-industrial atmospheric levels of CO2 were approximately 100 parts per million (ppm) lower than the present 385 ppm. They are wrong. This last is critical because the claim is basic to the argument that humans are causing warming and climate change by increasing the levels of atmospheric CO2 and have throughout the Industrial era. In fact, pre-industrial CO2 levels were about the same as today, but how did they conclude they were lower?

This article explains in detail how this fraud was perpetrated ... with reference to peer reviewed articles to prove it. Again and again the enviro-extremists have insisted that they do not have to respond to any efforts to understand the truth because they have the truth. They scream that it is settled science. Their position is "Just shut up and believe us!" They are liars.

The problem with their lies is that obvious flaws in their supposed "science" make it clear how stupid their man is causing global warming hypothesis is. Not just wrong. Stupid. One of their studies actually tries to prove that there was no medieval warming period, ignoring the fact that there is overwhelming historical proof just based on the agricultural production of the period.

Again and again the global warming "science" of the extremists simply does not stand up to scrutiny.
